SMU upset the Baylor Bears in Dallas, 66-54, to move the Long horns into undisputed first place in the SWC. Passes and shots were blocked throughout the night by the taller Orange and White boys, which hurt the Aggies. Along with this and loose ball handling in a few instances, as well as the Cadets shooting eyes cold as ice, the Long horns quickly took the lead and built upon it the rest of the game. The closest- the Farmers came to the TU hoopsters after the first of the game was five points, and then only for a few minutes, as the home town club got off on another scoring spree. Texas Hot As a general picture the Aggies did not play really a bad brand of ball, for they got hold of Texas on one of TU’s hottest nights. The Longhorns could not do any thing wrong, while the Cadets were continually plagued with fouls and blocked shots and passes. Texas checked the Aggies al most man for man in their end of the court. Both teams put up a good defense, but Texas could hit from anywhere on the court. The first quarter w^ all Texas’, as their height and fast break paid off. The Longhorns jumped into a quick 8-0 lead by combining a free throw and fast break field goal by Saunders. Leroy Miksch broke the ice for the Cadets with a. field goal making the score read 3-2. The Orange and White dumped in four field goals and fi - ee throws, While the Farmers’ two field goals and three gratis tosses ended the quarter with the score 17-10 in fa vor of the Longhorns. The two quintets traded scores Motheral Leads Tigers to Win Joe Motheral scored 19 points as the A&M Consolidated Tigers downed Snook 56-50 in Snook to be almost a cinch for the district champions. The Tigers have a record of nine wins and one loss for the sea son while Snook in second place in the district standings has a 7-3 won-loss record. If the Tigers can slip by Milano Thursday night in Milano, they will win the Dis trict. The Tigers led Snook most of the game with the halftime score 25-17 in the Tigers favor. Ruben Nedbelek of Snook was high point man for the Snook team with 14 points. In the “B” game Snook came from behind to tie the Tigers at the end of the contest 34-34 and went on to win 40 to 3.9 in the overtime period. The Tiger's led at the half, 18-12 and entered the final quarter with a 29-32 lead. Pinky Cooner was high man for the Tigers with 13 points while “Tex” Thomas led the winners with 16 tallies.

Van Thompson of Dallas. Thompson is manager of the ex ploration department of the South ern Union Gas company. While worrying over a gas well his firm was drilling in New Mexico, Thompson enrolled in short course in Executive Development Course, a 3-week session for young execu tives of Southwestern industry at A&M. After fretting about the well during the first week of the course he joined a golf foursome at the fine Aggie - course. Playing with professor, Arch Burgess of the management en gineering department; student, Carlton Hill of Seymour and Al bert F. Hatcher, division freight agent for Rock Island Railroad of Dallas, Thompson approached the par-3 No. 4 hole at the A&M course. Approaching the 150-yard No. 4 hole he stuck a four-iron shot into the hole for the 2%-year old course’s first ace. Thompson had a fine 86 over the long tough course. He received a telegram about that well in New Mexico’s San Juan county. The well came in as a 35-mil lion cubic foot producer, Thomp son had his first hole-in-one and then settled down to winding up his training at the executive’s short course. Conway Co.
